The next step in open and free software will be making coding, forking and deploying apps as easy as editing Wikipedia.

Github?

Dokku?

I've been waiting for this for literally a decade! Before that, it used to be true on desktop platforms like Windows and Linux - not so on the web and for apps.

A closed-source integration service is not an open platform.

I believe that Github is exactly what the OP is complaining about.
